Yes sir - 240ish on both the input and output sides of the main.

This is the situation! So, what does that mean?

A bit more background may be in order. I lost power in the master bath lights and one of the gfci outlets wouldn't reset. I replaced the gfci outlet with a like outlet. Still no power to the replaced plug or the lights. So I went thru the breaker box resetting the breakers one at a time. Even...

Looking at the open spaces it appears the connections alternate back and forth between the two hot buses. So my best guess is the furnace should be getting 250ish volts via the 60A breaker.

250ish across the main breaker as well as all the other double pole breakers (range, dryer, etc).

Good day! My heat pump has a 60AMP double pole breaker feeding it. Testing with a multimeter I get 125ish volts from each of the two poles to the ground bus but I show almost zero volts, rather than 250ish, between the two poles. Defective breaker, right? ((In case it matters, the box is an...

The ratio of fractional to metric pin punch sets is maybe ten to one when one searches the standard sites akin to tooltopia or amazon. That ratio made me wonder how many folks here had both flavors of punch sets in their boxes. I gather it is common to own SAE & metric pin punch sets. I'll...

I'm planning a (20, 22 or 24) X 28 X 9 garage build over the spring and summer. (New home purchased last spring but I'd like a shop and I'd like the wife to be able to get her car in the attached garage (20 X 20) during the winter.) I'll do all I can on my own and with friends and sub out what...

Planning to build a detached garage myself. My "worst" case numbers I've come up with below: 2011 Chevy/GMC 3500 8' bed crew cab dually . . . L 21.6' X W 8' X H 6.5 2011 Ford F350 8' bed, crew cab, dually . . . L 21.9' X W 8.3' X H 6.7' 2010 Dodge 3500 8' bed, crew cab, single . . . L 21.6' X...

My local TSC had it and the IR 107XPA did ring up as $9.99!! Sweet deal!!

I've been lurking here for a while now but this is my first post. I just spent the last hour reading this thread and all I can say is wow-wow-wow! I've taken a lot away from lurking here - I've largely quit buying HF tools, I turn the package over once again in Lowe's, Ace, Sears and such to see...
